It only seems that to create a light, almost weightless interior is simple. Actually there are secrets here. Elegant modern white furniture from Cattelan Italy "dissolve" against the white walls and floor. Glass and crystal will add room transparency and brilliance.

CEILING in the white room is better to make dark. Not pure black, but chocolate brown or dark tobacco. The color will visually work in such a way that the ceiling seems to disappear, and it will be completely unimportant how tall it is. This ceiling has another advantage: on a dark background crystal chandelier will look superb.

Let the walls, floor, furniture and curtains be white. But with surfaces that reflect light differently. For example, glossy varnished racks, leather-covered chairs, velvet pouf, linen or silk curtains ...

A DESK with a glass table top and supports made of polished metal is good because it completely "dissolves" in space. The table supports work like mirrors here. You see not them, but what is reflected in them. By the way, ordinary mirrors could be added to this interior.
